Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes | Servings: 2 rolls
Ingredients:
2 frozen or fresh Parathas (or large wheat tortillas/rotis)
1 cup chicken breast cubes (or Paneer/Tofu cubes for a vegetarian version)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 green bell pepper (capsicum), sliced or diced
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
1 teaspoon tandoori masala (or a mix of cumin, coriander, and chili powder)
1/2 teaspoon chaat masala (for that street-style tanginess)
1 tablespoon oil or butter
Juice of half a lemon
For serving: Green mint chutney or mayonnaise
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Sauté the Protein & Veggies: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger-garlic paste and chicken cubes (or paneer). Stir fry for 3–4 minutes until cooked through.
Add the Crunch: Toss in the sliced onions and green capsicum. Stir fry for another 2 minutes. You want the veggies to get slightly tender but still retain a nice, fresh crunch just like the photo!
Spice it Up: Sprinkle the tandoori masala, chaat masala, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together for 1 minute until the aromatic spices coat the filling completely. Turn off the heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
Prepare the Wrap: On a separate flat pan (tawa), toast your parathas according to packet instructions until they are golden brown and beautifully flaky with characteristic charred spots.
Assemble the Roll: Lay a warm paratha flat. Spread a thin layer of green mint chutney down the center. Generously pile your spiced chicken and crunchy veggie filling on top.
Wrap & Serve: Roll the paratha tightly over the filling. Wrap the bottom half in parchment paper or foil to hold it together, slice it at an angle, and serve hot with extra green chutney on the side!
